Being of Help to Others

I am writing an essay explaining whether people should be more concerned about others than about themselves. I think we should care more about others than yourself, because some people need serious help. Sometimes they can’t get that help without someone else’s support. Caring about someone more than yourself is important because some people can’t defend or take care of themselves which is quite sad. It’s great to care about someone else because think about abused children they can’t help themselves at all who knows there parents might’ve didn’t teach them right and that’s not good if they were abused than they would probably treat other people like that and it’s not healthy. I think of others before myself like when a homeless person is on the street I give them money, some of homeless people are skinny too skinny. Sometimes I think of the children in Africa starving and here we are eating getting fatter and fatter not thinking about no one but themselves. You should help when someone’s on drugs because they can’t stop its addictive, that’s when they need our help the most because drugs kill and our population is going down. It depends on the problem if it’s not important or if it’s not a dying cause then you can worry about yourself once in a while. Thinking about yourself is important but thinking about others is more important, and that’s why I always think of others before myself, you never know what they’ve been through. They could’ve had a horrible tragedy in their family and we might need to comfort them instead of worrying about ourselves. I love helping others and I hope you do to because there’s nothing better than seeing a smile on someone’s face that needs help and you helped them overcome that obstacle. You never know you might need the help later but someone will help you because God saw your heart. When you don’t help anyone then that’s really sad because people need help and I hope this changes your mind if you never helped a person....

...﻿In her essay “Being an Other” Melissa Algranati talks about how she didn’t know what race category she belonged to because of her ethnic background. Algranati’s father was born in Alexandria, Egypt and her mother was born in Maniti, Puerto Rico. She is a product of marriage, and her race is a Puerto Rican Egyptian Jew. She explains how her upbringing was different because of her parents’ different racial barriers. Algranati’s supports her issue and also gives emotional appeal about her childhood. By being different because she is a blend of multiple cultures Algranati and her parents had to face reality of growing up with a different ethnic background in America society.
Algranati has a strong tone because she explains how she was faced with challenging her ethnicity. She really didn’t know what category she fell under from her being a mixture of races. “It was not until I took the standardized PSAT exam that I was confronted with the question: Who am I? (667). She was intertwined up and distraught because of herself identity. She felt lost because this was a moment of realization and there are a lot of issues circulating behind her race and ethnicity. Essentially, the only way she could classify herself was choosing “other”. When being intertwined in not knowing where you belong in society can be a great burden on someone. Furthermore, she’s really left with trying to figure out her...

...so did my guilt. As I sat on that bus and stared at that poor wet man, I couldn’t help but obsess. Here I was, a health journalist. If anyone knew about the healing powers of kindness, generosity, and altruism, it was me. On a spiritual level, I believed that world peace came from individual acts of kindness and generosity.
So why had I hoarded that umbrella? Why was my urge to help overpowered by my urge not to help?
And why do good people fail to do good?
WHY GOOD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE
According to Darwin’s theory of evolution and “the survival of the fittest,” the strongest survive to pass on their genes to the next generation. This is why even today our brains give us a rewarding hit of joy when we have sex (babies help a species survive) and devour high-calorie foods—today’s hedonistic delight once meant the difference between life and starvation.
It’s also why we feel good when we helpothers, says Dr. James Doty, the director of Project Compassion and a clinical professor of neurosurgery at Stanford.
“Kindness is our genetic imperative that has been there for millions of years,” he says. “When you look at humans and animals, science shows that it is the kindest and most cooperative who survive long term. The cruel and ruthless might get a short-term gain, but cruelty and ruthlessness are not good solutions for a species to survive.”
Countless studies show that helping...

...disturb her. As she “cuts and binds the grain” she “sings a melancholy strain,” and the valley overflows with the beautiful, sad sound. The speaker says that the sound is more welcome than any chant of the nightingale to weary travelers in the desert, and that the cuckoo-bird in spring never sang with a voice so thrilling. The speaker wanted us to appreciate the beauty of the song, the passion he is feeling, and the beauty of sadness.
During the speakers work, the poet describes to his readers how eloquently she sings a song, whose meaning he knows not but yet, can feel the song touch his heart, though he may not comprehend the real intent of the lyrics, the language being unknown to him. The poet, with artistic elements of poetry, compares the song of the Highland Lass with the relatively dim sweetness of other objects and he seems to be successful in his work of contrast, but despite his comparisons, he wonders what the meaning of the song might be.
The isolation of the girl makes the speaker realize his own isolation. Her song makes him realize how art (music) transforms daily labor; he does the same by capturing the girl in a poem. Finally, the memory is timeless, even though the girl, the moment, the song, and the experience are all ephemeral, trapped in time and soon passing.
Romantic poets cultivated individualism, reverence for the natural world, idealism, physical and emotional passion, and an interest in the mystic and...

Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam, Magis, and Persons for Others - these are the common phrases expressed and uttered along the halls of Xavier University – Ateneo de Cagayan. I am touched by the meaning of these values and practices since I am sort of new to this kind of environment. Now I know why this institution is prestigious and is being looked up by other people – it’s because of the values they teach coupled with the quality education they offer. Going to Xavier University is an experience I will never ever forget; it’s not about the name that the school carries; it’s not about how seemingly glamorous you are when you walk down the streets wearing the school uniform; it’s not about being classy and smart all at the same time, it’s because here, they focus more on shaping you on to becoming the best of you, in service for others, the country and for God. In this school, I became a person for others.
The first four months I’ve spent here in Xavier are four months filled with vibrant colors and unforgettable shades. With its cheerful and Christ-centered aura, I knew that I was called here for a cause. The moment I stepped...

...philanthropic endeavors like food drives or Relay for Life. Those who are passionate about these causes are not above even using guilt as motivation... the sad eyes of famished orphans in Africa coupled with pleas for aid leaves one who is sitting on a comfortable couch with their hand deep in a bag of chips remorseful enough to reach for their wallet with their free hand. Peter Singer’s Utilitarian theory highlights this phenomenon and argues that people living in abundance while others are starving is “morally indefensible”. His reasoning is that if you are already living a comfortable life, purchasing anything to pursue more comfort is morally reprehensible and lacks virtue. To his credit, Singer supports his theory through practice, as it is reported that he donates 25% of his salary to Oxfam and UNICEF, and is a member of Giving What We Can, an international society for the promotion of poverty relief. As a result, Singer feels that people who are able to live in excess should work towards reducing poverty among others, not enhance their own comfortable conditions.
According to Singer’s Utilitarianism, the proper course of action is one that maximizes utility. This is defined specifically as maximizing happiness and reducing suffering. According to extreme utilitarianism, the moral worth of an action is determined only by its resulting outcome, thereby focusing primarily on the consequences of the action. However, can that compromise...
